I'm currently working on a Liebherr R 954 C Material Handler with a big scrap shear directly connected to the material handling stick. I was inspired by the photo's of Brandenburg's Liebherr R 984 B, but as I don't have a boom that big, I'll settle for a smaller version. As a basic model I'm using my R 954 C with A 954 B boom, which originally was a long reach machine:   After these photo's were taken, the model has been fitted with a cab lift (from a Liebherr A 316 from NZG) and will receive a Norscot R 904 C cab. The boom itself will be shortened by about 25 mm (hopefully done today), and the material handling stick will be shortened as well to basically a "stump", to fit a very heavy tool. Awaiting Eric's Labounty shears, the model will be equipped with a Zon models Verachtert VHS 60 (same shear as on Gaz's Cat 5110B Triple). The Liebherr is also fitted with an extendable undercarriage, with a maximum width of about 90 mm. Besides the Brandenburg R 984 B there was another machine I got this idea from. In my opinion this one's even meaner looking than the Liebherr. A Sennebogen 840 R-HD in use at a reclycing plant in France (one of three identical machines actually):  Now, I'd just like to know (from the demolition experts), a shear connected to the stick of a material handling machine, is it a 3rd member or a 2nd member shear? A 3rd member could be because it's, well, mounted on tht stick. However, the stick is so short, and the shear has no additional movement at all besides rotating you could also say it's a 2nd member shear. Any definite answer to this? Pictures of the machine with short boom and stick hopefully later today.

Well, here are the first pics of the new model. Boom has been shortened. Stick still needs to be modified (the dark line signifies where the stick will be cut off). The boom (and the rest of the model) need some refining, ut this is basically the way it's going to look. The shear is a Verachtert VHS 60 from Zon. Although a good model, I can't get it to rotate properly, so I have to think about that... After that, I need to couple the shear to the boom. Good news, I know how to do this. Bad news, I need CMM Schwerlast and Himobo quickcouplers for that. And the next Houten show isn't until July 25th...

Remko i can see what you got planned, looking at the scale of the VHS60, would it be wise to have that much stick on? it would be sweeter closer to the boom,as for the swivel? if you take the pin out holding the jaw in, take the jaw out! and with a small screwdriver slacken back the holding screw, between the shear and the shear head. that should help with the swivel. looking good Remko......Gaz

has anyone ever seen Terex-Fuchs,they do a stick option which is a short stump of a stick with a quick coupler on it so you can swap between a shears and the rest of the stick http://www.fuchsterex.de/terex/index.php?id=20&sprache=1

According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

And because I'll be using a quick coupler, I don't need any room inside the stick. As for the swivel, well, the shear isn't glued together yet, so I have plenty of accessability!  I know what you mean, the Fuchs Quick Connect this, as well as the Sennebogen Vario Tool where my main inspiration for the model.

Does anyone know where you can by the shear? Zon models has it (it's his model) and most German dealers sell it as well if DHS doesn't have them anymore. Price for a kit is € 37 euro's ($ 51.75 USD) and a built and painted model is € 65 euro's ($ 90.95 USD)

1 Tuff lookin 840 Remko you should model that.Nice conversion heres a suggestion make the cabriser rotate or mount next to the boom so it swings 180 away from the crawlers and cab pivit like the cab on a 12600 facing the boom.So it's away fom the body.Something different !

Well, I cut down the stick a bit more, and it looks much better now.  I wonder... Besides large scrap shears, are there any concrete cutters this size? Now that would be some demo machine!! I never liked the HRD machines that much, I just want a big jawed monster with a short boom just eating it's way through metal or concrete...

Right on Remko!!!!!! something that has an unsatiable appetite for concrete and iron!!! a CAT 5110B with a monster 2nd member pulverisor,the kind of a machine that would scare a building into colapse
